Yellow body, hazy, with a large white head; very clovey nose, but with both yeast clay like notes and banana as well and with a balance you rarely see; to innocent a body, very balanced but far from deep enough; Very long aroma though, both fell and aroma wise, and lots of aroma that actually lasts forever. Another excellent beer from the island!

Bought @ brewery. golden color with light haze, white head. aroma, grainy/wheat, yeasty in the Hefe style, light notes of banana, faint cloying. flavors, yeasty and some esters giving this beer a very banana like profile. Given the history of the brewery and the German yeast strain, there is no doubt that all their beers have a Hefe style despite the various names given to the beers. The biological malts don’t change much to the core version. Med-high carbonation, wheat/grainy palate, floral notes and no wit-Belgian elements that would make this one a Belgian wit as the name might suggest.
